The Eagles extended their lead to three when Jacob McDowell took a quick pass from Ryan Urso and shot it past Okicki from the left side at 8:21 of the third period.
Okicki took the loss, stopping 20 of 23 shots. Brennan, the former Tomahawks goaltender, earned the win in his first game back at the War Memorial, stopping all 19 shots he faced. Sabatini scored the lone power-play goal of the game, as both teams went a combined 1-for-11.
